1 (ka). If the dog (śvan) be seen to pass urine on a man, a horse, an elephant, a pot, a saddle, on milk trees, on heaps of unburnt brick, on an umbrella, a bed, a scat, a wooden mortar, on a banner, a Cāmara or ground covered with tender grass or flowers and to go before the traveller, it indicates success; if it be seen to pass urine on wet cow-dung, the person will get good meals, and if on dry cow-dung, he will get miserable meals or sugar and cakes. 2 (kha). Again if the dog be seen to pass urine on poisonous trees, on thorny trees, dry-wood, stones, dried trees, bones, or cremation ground and to scratch over the parts and to go before the traveller, it indicates evil; if it be seen to pass urine on a bed or on the unused vessels of a pot-man and the like, it indicates disgrace to virgins; if it be seen to pass urine on used vessels or on shoes, it indicates disgrace to the traveller’s wife and if it be seen to pass urine on a cow, there will be a mingling of castes. 1 (ga). Again, if the dog be seen to approach the traveller with a slipper in its mouth, the traveller will gain his object; if it be seen with its mouth full of flesh, there will be a gain of wealth; if with a raw bone in its mouth, there will be good luck; if it be seen to approach with a burning torch or a dry bone in its mouth, there will be death; if with a dead torch, the person will receive blows; if it be seen to approach dragging with it the head, hands, feet, face or other limbs of a person, there will be gain of lands; and if it be seen to approach with a cloth, the bark of a tree and the like, there will be danger. According to some, if a dog be seen to approach with a cloth in its mouth, there will be good luck. 1. (gha). Also, if the dog (śvan) be seen to enter the house with a dry-bone in its month, the head of the family will die. If it be seen to enter with fetters, creepers, leather-straps, ropes and the like, he will suffer imprisonment. If it be seen to shake its ears, to get on the person of the traveller and to lick his feet, he will meet with obstacles. If it be seen to stop the traveller, he will suffer attack. If it be seen to scratch the body, he will meet with opposition and if the dog be seen to lie with its head raised up, there will be evil.
